Guild Wars 2

Hello GW2 forums!

I got a very annyoing issue..

I don’t really know why my game is so laggy, I’ve asked lots of people ingame if they got the same problem like me, I’ve googled it and I’ve pretty much tried everything to get the lagging off my game client.
It takes awhile to load maps, traveling, cities, etc.
And it specially lags alot when I’m in Lion’s Arch or in WvWvW. ( much people )
Any idéa what I should do about this issue?

My GW2 Graphics Options:
Display:
Resolution: Full screen – 1680 × 1050
Frame Limiter: Unlimited
Interface Size: Normal
Full-screen Gamma: 1.00.

Advanced Settings:
Animation: High
Anti-Aliasing: FXAA
Enviroment: High
LOD Distance: Ultra
Reflections: All
Textures: High
Render Sapmling: Supersample
Shadows: Ultra
Shaders: High
Post-Processing: High
WvWvW Character Limit: Highest
WvWvW Character Quality: Highest
Best Texture Filtering: Yes
Depth Blur: Yes
High-Res Character Textures: Yes
Vertical Sync: Yes.

When I am changing to the lowest quality, it’s indeed not so laggy… but I want the highest because I just love the graphic are made done, it’s so beautiful!
Do you think it’s wrong with my PC’s driver or graphic card?

My computer’s system: ( notice it’s Swedish text. )
’’ Windows-utgåva:
Windows 7 Ultimate
Copyright 2009 Microsoft Corporation. Med ensamrätt.
Service Pack 1.

System:
Klassificering: 5,9 Prestandaklassificering
Processor: Pentium® Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz 2.50GHz
Installerat minne (RAM) 4,00 GB

Thank you!

Thank you!

Just to clarify lag (latency) is not low FPS. Latency is caused by the time it takes for data to get from your computer to the destination (ArenaNet’s servers) and back to the source again (your computer). The more time, the more latency or delay you will experience when performing actions. A common occurrence of this is using a skill and five second later the skill actually goes off.

Now that the terminology is straight… You don’t mention your graphics card, but judging from your CPU, its likely not going to be able to handle everything at highest settings and still achieve good FPS. If you want to do that, upgrade your graphics card. In more crowded areas your FPS will drop because your CPU is a half a decade old.

If you are not keen on upgrading, turn your sampling from supersampling to native and reflections from ‘All’ to ‘Terrain and Sky’. That should help quite a bit. Turn shadows down too if the FPS isn’t desirable.

Your CPU is really poor.
